Have U Started?*

 *Have U Started?*

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

My dear brothers and sisters, guess what? Many wise Muslims have already begun their six days of fasting in Shawwal. They are about to grab the huge reward of fasting an entire year—for just six small days! Do not let this chance pass you by.

My People,

Ramadan has just ended, and our bodies are still getting used to not eating during the day. Before we fully go back to our old routine, this is the perfect time to push ourselves. Let us strive to fast these six days while the good habits are still fresh.

If you are a man or a woman who plans to fast these six days, but you still have missed days from last Ramadan, remember this: start by paying back your missed fasts first, then begin your six days of Shawwal. This way, you take care of what you owe and still earn the great reward.

Wise Muslims!

Watch out for Shaytan's trick. He whispers to billions of us: "I will start next week… I will start in two weeks… I will fast when only one week of Shawwal is left." These whispers make us delay. And before we know it, the month is gone, and we have missed the reward. Do not let him win.

Remember,

Fasting these six days is highly recommended by the Sunnah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan, and then follows it up by fasting six days of Shawwal, it is as if he or she has fasted the whole year." 📚(Muslim)

And here is good news: you do not have to fast them all together. You can fast them one by one, on different days, as long as you complete six days before Shawwal ends. The reward is the same, by the will of Allah.

I know many of us do not love voluntary fasting. It can feel hard. But just think—for only six days, you get the reward of fasting an entire year! That is a treasure worth running after.

Do not wait. Do not delay. Join the wise ones who have already started. Grab this reward while the door is still open.

May Allah (swt) give us strength and make it easy for us to earn the reward of fasting the six days of Shawwal. Ameen, Ya Hayyu La Yamootu Abadah.
